And here's a kind of a , a patchwork of , of those findings in Japan , one beer , one glass of wine or one shot of liquor as it's served , there tends to include anywhere from 7 to 8 g of alcohol in the US one beer , which generally is 12 ounces If it's in a bottle , one glass of wine or a shot of liquor tends to include about 10 to 12 g of alcohol . And in Russia , one drink of the various sorts that I just described , typically we have as much as 24 g of alcohol because of the differences in the concentration of alcohols and the sizes of drinks that are poured in these different countries . Ok .
Rarely do they compare substances in terms of how good they are . Um But sometimes they do and what they'll sometimes tell you and what you can find in the literature is that ingesting 10 to 15 g of alcohol a day . So that would be like one beer in the US or one glass of wine is the same as smoking 10 cigarettes a day .
In particular , breast cancer for every 10 g of alcohol consumed , that's 10 g per day . So that's one drink per day . But I do want to emphasize that if that equates to seven drinks per week and all those seven drinks are being consumed on Friday and Saturday , it still averages to 10 g per day .
With , there have been studies of the percentage of alcohol including different drinks and the sizes of different drinks that are served in different countries . And here's a kind of a , a patchwork of , of those findings in Japan , one beer , one glass of wine or one shot of liquor as it's served , there tends to include anywhere from 7 to 8 g of alcohol in the US one beer , which generally is 12 ounces If it's in a bottle , one glass of wine or a shot of liquor tends to include about 10 to 12 g of alcohol . And in Russia , one drink of the various sorts that I just described , typically we have as much as 24 g of alcohol because of the differences in the concentration of alcohols and the sizes of drinks that are poured in these different countries .
I want you to just emphasize that this statistic that there is a 4 to 13% depending on which study , you look at a 4 to 13% increase in the risk of cancer . In particular , breast cancer for every 10 g of alcohol consumed , that's 10 g per day . So that's one drink per day .
